Jill Marie Jones was on The Breakfast Club and right out the gate the hosts asked her about a Girlfriends movie. Apparently, CBS and Paramount own the rights and they don't like nice things, unfortunately it is up to them if we get a movie or not.

Girlfriends was on WB and then CW, it starred Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Persia White, and Jill Marie Jones and ......... Keesha Sharp (Jill Marie Jones' substandard replacement). It ran for 8 seasons, got cancelled as part of collateral damage between the writers strike and CW re-branding to the Clearly White network.

Lindelof wrote in a letter to fans that the series will not be a retelling of the original story, but rather a new story set in the same universe in the present day (but is Doomsday Clock canon tho???)

The pilot will be written by Lindelof and directed by The Leftover's Nicole Kassell.

Part of their special tour "prettypack" where certain fans can get exclusive content, PRETTYMUCH strikes again with the exclusive #sosadsosexy bop "Mind of Poseidon". The og link description of the song credits lead member (and the guy present in these gifs) Brandon Arreaga as sole writer and producer - ugh, his MIND!

What does OP think?: sfhbskjdfhsbdkfjshdbfksjhb this song is so good and already one of my top favs along with OMW. They're transitioning well into contemporary sounds since being 90's boyband tributes with WYM and Open Arms. I can't @ them out doing themselves with each release, TALENTED creators and PERFORMERS. YAS @ Zion being second lead vocal, KING. I'm GAGGING @ A*stin not getting any solo parts, rightfully so - KICK HIM OUT

In a detailed new personal essay, titled “A Son Speaks Out,” posted online Wednesday, Farrow says he ‘can no longer stay silent’ about accusations made by his sister and claims she was coerced into making them

In his post, Moses, now a family therapist and photographer, disputes details of Dylan’s account and claims Mia was physically and emotionally abusive towards him and her other children.

He writes:

“I’m a very private person and not at all interested in public attention. “But, given the incredibly inaccurate and misleading attacks on my father, Woody Allen, I feel that I can no longer stay silent as he continues to be condemned for a crime he did not commit.”

Even people who doubt Dylan’s claims of assault, often cling to Woody’s relationship with Soon-Yi as justification for their skepticism about him. The public attacks on Soon-Yi by complete strangers still stagger me, as does the general misinformation that so many people consider fact. She is not Woody’s daughter (adopted, step, or otherwise), nor is she developmentally challenged. (She got a master’s degree in special education from Columbia University!) And the claim that they started dating while she was underage is totally false.

In truth, Woody and Soon-Yi rarely even spoke during her childhood. It was my mother who first suggested, when Soon-Yi was 20, that Woody reach out and spend time with her. He agreed and started taking her to Knicks games. That’s how their romance started. Yes, it was unorthodox, uncomfortable, disruptive to our family and it hurt my mother terribly. But the relationship itself was not nearly as devastating to our family as my mother’s insistence on making this betrayal the center of all our lives from then on.

About Mia:

It was important to my mother to project to the world a picture of a happy blended household of both biological and adopted children, but this was far from the truth. I’m sure my mother had good intentions in adopting children with disabilities from the direst of circumstances, but the reality inside our walls was very different. It pains me to recall instances in which I witnessed siblings, some blind or physically disabled, dragged down a flight of stairs to be thrown into a bedroom or a closet, then having the door locked from the outside. She even shut my brother Thaddeus, paraplegic from polio, in an outdoor shed overnight as punishment for a minor transgression.

Soon-Yi was her most frequent scapegoat. My sister had an independent streak and, of all of us, was the least intimidated by Mia. When pushed, she would call our mother out on her behavior and ugly arguments would ensue. When Soon-Yi was young, Mia once threw a large porcelain centerpiece at her head. Luckily it missed, but the shattered pieces hit her legs. Years later, Mia beat her with a telephone receiver. Soon-Yi’s made it clear that her desire was simply to be left alone, which increasingly became the case. Even if her relationship with Woody was unconventional, it allowed her to escape. Others weren’t so lucky.

Just months after it was rocked by a massive privacy scandal, Facebook is offering people a chance to upload their nudes to "specially-trained representatives" in an effort to fight revenge porn.https://t.co/ssIv8FvvaQ

– On Tuesday, mere months after being rocked by a privacy scandal involving the fall of western civilization, Facebook Safety is offering people a chance to upload their nudes to "specially-trained representatives" in an effort to stop revenge porn. This policy was announced in Australia last November (so like no wonder we haven't heard of it).– In a Facebook post, Head of Security Antigone Davis explained how it would work:

- Anyone who fears an intimate image of them may be [shared] publicly can contact one of our partners to submit a form

- After submitting the form, the victim receives an email containing a secure, one-time upload link

- The victim can use the link to upload images they fear will be shared

- One of a handful of specifically trained members of our Community Operations Safety Team will review the report and create a unique fingerprint, or hash, that allows us to identify future uploads of the images without keeping copies of them on our servers

- Once we create these hashes, we notify the victim via email and delete the images from our servers — no later than seven days

- We store the hashes so any time someone tries to upload an image with the same fingerprint, we can block it from appearing on Facebook, Instagram or Messenger

– After the pilot program was announced in Australia, Facebook explained that the "specially-trained representative" would review the image before "hashing" it. But once the "hash" is stored, Facebook noted the company creates a "creates a human-unreadable, numerical fingerprint of it" without saving the actual photo. So basically employees can't view the nude (again?) but a digital fingerprint of its code is created that stops other people from uploading it as revenge porn.– Facebook is partnering up safety organizations, abuse and and victim advocates such as the Australian Office of the eSafety Commssioner, the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the UK Revenge Porn Hotline, and YWCA Canada.

Meanwhile, Facebook tells people to securely upload the intimate images they are concerned about someone sharing as revenge porn. Then Facebook will create a hash of the image and automatically block anyone who tries. https://t.co/N6yh0oEiiLpic.twitter.com/M1xoXmhvyo

We're delighted to be working with @facebook on their new pilot project fighting against image-based sexual abuse. You can find out more information by reading Facebook's statement- https://t.co/hQbijfsE0o or by contacting us on help@revengepornhelpline.org.uk

The CEO of Sony's PlayStation division stated in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the PlayStation 4 is entering the final phase of its life cycle. This upcoming November will be the console's 5th anniversary.

The console continues selling well, projected to move 16 million units this current fiscal year. CEO John Kodera says Sony will crouch down for the next three fiscals years (ending in March 2021), focusing more on user growth and engagement through PS Plus subscribers and other software, hoping that these services will be built up enough to outweigh declining hardware sales.

That said, lifecycles between consoles have been growing over time, with a 7-year gap between the release of the PS3 and PS4. And with the PS4 Pro only being a year and a half old, the console isn't going anywhere. So don't expect the PS5 announcement anytime soon. Kodera stated it's at leastanother three years away.

All the members of the Arrested Development cast besides Michael Cera and Portia De Rossi did an interview with the New York Times. During the conversation, the interviewer brought up the allegations from the Transparent set and asked if Tambor expects to be a part of a potential next season of Arrested Development. Jason Bateman says he won't do the show without him.

They then talked about Tambor's verbal harassment of his on-screen wife Jessica Walter that he mentioned in a recent profile. Batemen defended Tambor and said they're like a family and "a lot of stuff happens in 15 years". Will Arnett says he even keyed Bateman's car once. David Cross says Tambor is learning from his experiences.

At a certain point after Tambor explained he'd apologized and is going to put that behind him, Jessica Walter tearfully talks about what happened

In a striking exchange, Jessica Walter teared up, with Tambor sitting a few feet away: "Verbally, yes, he harassed me, but he did apologize. I have to let it go."

I'll be posting a bunch of stuff that we had to cut for space. But I asked Alia Shawkat, the only actor in the cast outside of Tambor to be on both Arrested Development and Transparent, what both sets were like. pic.twitter.com/Hbl6dDmApz

For those still not in the know, Power Rangers came to be when Saban (and Disney for a short time) purchased existing superhero TV series from Japanese company Toei's "Super Sentai" franchise and used footage from said shows to create their own. This has been happening since Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

In what came as a total surprise for fans, Saban has decided to finally adapt the 36th entry in the "Super Sentai" series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters (lit. Special Ops Squadron Go-Busters), as Power Rangers Beast Morphers. They originally skipped Go-Busters back in 2015 in favor of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (which became Power Rangers Dino Charge).

The official plot for Beast Morphers is: "Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun."

Why did Saban skip Go-Busters in the first place? Rumor was low toys sales of the original show back in Japan. But then some fans think it's because the more recent and completed "Super Sentai" entries - Zyuohger and Kyuranger - look utterly ridiculous and unappealing for adaptation right now. Toei's 38th entry ToQger, a train-themed series, has yet to be adapted for Power Rangers either.

Beast Morphers will premiere in early 2019 for anyone who actually cares about/still watches this mess.

I won't be watching, but here's to hoping they don't leave the highly underrated Escape out of the adaptation!

The second season of Netflix's popular series "13 Reasons Why" based on the book of the same name, premiered last week.

Season 2 currently has a 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes (with 20 rotten and 8 fresh, Average Rating 5.56/10) . The first season was controversial because for some people it glamorizes suicide and for the depiction of mental illness, abuse, rape, and the graphic scenes, but even with all of those complains it still managed to get 80% score on RT.

The difference between season 1 and season 2 seems to be that season 2, on top of having scenes that only seem to exist for shock value, doesn't pull enough from the source material and loses the narrative structure, also some fans have complained about how they retconned the story from season 1.

Furthermore, the actual content of "13 Reasons Why" is still unsettling for many. A media watchdog group has requested that Netflix pull the series because of its content. And season 2 fails to address a dangerous problem, in that Hannah — the character who took her own life in season 1 — is still a prominent character in the second season.

In general season 2 tried to use the same formula from season 1, controversial topics and scenes but without the engaging storyline that the general public and critics liked from season 1.

This is what some critics said about the show:

Joshua Rivera, Rolling Stone.

"Watch enough of 13 Reasons Why and you'll find that it's fond of a very particular type of realism – the kind where characters find some emotional catharsis, but the actual conclusion of their story is bleak, because in the real world good guys don't always win and bad guys don't always get what they deserve. It's a shallow play at nuance, a way to give the show a sense of gravity without really earning it – because while its creators stress how this show talks about the issues, they also made a pulpy-as-hell mystery full of sex and guns and teen conspiracy. So even if Netflix's hit teen drama is sincere and wants to get people talking, it's also a show that can't hide the fact that it wants them to watch the next episode even more. "

Kelly Lawler, USA Today.

"The new season tries to make a point about rape culture, slut shaming and sexual harassment, but its depiction of these complex topics has all the subtlety of a sledge hammer."

Daniel Fienberg, The Hollywood Reporter:

"The second season of Netflix's teen suicide drama is a frustratingly unnecessary mess of bad courtroom antics, stale mysteries and clumsy efforts to bring back Katherine Langford"

NYC is considering a ban on plastic straws from restaurants and snack bars; McDonald’s shareholders are mulling a proposal to replace the plastic straws in their restaurants worldwide. https://t.co/S2mZUHKl9q

Starting in May, McDonald's in the UK will be replacing plastic straws with paper ones.

Activists think this is a good way for people to consume less plastic, but plastic manufacturers are having trouble finding environment friendly alternatives. Paper and bio-plastic straws both cost more to make, and the latter aren't as eco-friendly as one would think (because of the polylactic acid/PLA and UK facilities don't accept PLA straws).

U.S. cities such as Seattle, Fort Meyers, Malibu have already banned the giving out of plastic straws in restaurants.

Diana Lofflin of StrawFree.org says: "You use a straw for 10 minutes, and it never goes away."

Some suggest just doing away with straws altogether and letting people drink straight from their cups, or simply declining a straw when asked.

NFL owners have approved a policy that forces players to stand on the field during the National Anthem. Or else they (and any other team personnel) will be fined if they kneelor sit.

Players have the option to stay in the locker room instead if they don't want to stand.

Commissioner Roger Goodell had this to say: "We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand - that's all personnel - and make sure they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. That's something we think we owe. But we were also very sensitive to give players choices."

It's not clear how much the fine would be at this moment.

New York Jets chairman Christopher Johnson, however, said he'd cover or the fine if any of his players knelt during the anthem.

Actor, Wil Wheaton:

I hope every team kneels in unison before every game this coming season, and I hope that the wealthiest players on each team cover the fines. To hell with these NFL owners and their racism.

There should be news cameras in the NFL locker rooms so players can kneel there if they choose. This new rule is a ploy to keep their voices off screen and control optics. The media should circumvent the rule by putting the players onscreen wherever they are.

The NFL is and has violated the US flag code for years.Soldiers kneel for the fallen during the anthem.NFL players were doing the same.What the fuck has happened to this beloved country? https://t.co/tMc7FPbidp
